Nizhny Novgorod - a city where there is a truly Russian spirit. It is located Bank of the confluence of two rivers - Oka and Volga. The city has many ancient monasteries, churches, cathedrals and other cultural monuments.
But the most beautiful part of the city in my opinion is the Volga river embankment. View of the waterfront is simply stunning! It boats standing at the pier and the majestic river, on whose banks lies the most beautiful Russian city.
Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin is the heart of the city. Its walls stretched for two kilometers. Once upon a time he defended the city from the invasion of foreign conquerors. First, Nizhny Novgorod was intended as a defence point the boundaries of Russia from the Tatars and Mordovians.
Many famous people lived in this city. Among them mathematician N. I. Lobachevsky mechanic I. P. Kulibin, teacher I. I. Kushelev, the scientist Damaskin, etc.
Once at the time of my childhood in Nizhny Novgorod was called Gorky, after the writer Maxim Gorky. Here is a house-Museum where he was born. If you read the works of Maxim Gorky, the visit to Nizhny Novgorod will want doubly. He described his city, that his reading of the heart.
Now Nizhny Novgorod is a large city, but which is so well preserved heritage of Russian history. In some places, it even seems that time has stopped somewhere in pre-revolutionary Russia.
